The maple path at Arboretum was just perfect yesterday. Enough leaves were still on the tree to please the eyes, yet there was a dense carpet beneath my feet.
Don't you just love the scruff scruff rustle rustle when you walk through leaves?

Those golden colors are delicious. I love how those delicate but many lines of shadows balance the heavy vertical line of the tree. Great shot!
